Is the movie I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

At Stream Tracker, we keep an eye on where indie gems and small‑town comedies land — and Jeff Garlin’s 2006 I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With is one of those quietly bittersweet films worth tracking. Centered on James, a 39‑year‑old Chicagoan living with his mom, an aging Second City performer trying to keep auditions and roles from slipping away, the movie mixes awkward romance, missed opportunities and more than a little late‑night cheese. In this article we’ll look at whether you can stream it on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+, and how to find it on those services if it’s available. The film premiered in 2006 and made the rounds on the festival circuit, and we’ll note any festival recognition alongside current platform availability.

Synopsis

he still lives with his mother in Chicago, scrapes by as a worn-out performer at Second City, and struggles with his weight and appetite. After his girlfriend leaves him and his agent — who happens to be her brother — severs ties, he rejects small local TV jobs because they crush his spirits. When a beloved film he idolizes is being remade and the part he'd give anything for becomes available, James watches helplessly as he isn't even invited to audition.
